8-Bit EscapeEscape Room HerndonEscape roomIRLOur final room out of 3 for the night at ERH. Another awesome room with unique elements we haven't seen anywhere else. This felt like the most challenging of the 3 rooms that we did, as a couple of the puzzles really stumped us. (Admittedly we were a little hangry at this point, make sure to pack a snack if you're doing 3 in a row! Lol) The hidden Easter eggs in here were absolutely superb and we had lots of laughs along the way.
Allister’s SecretMaine Escape GamesEscape roomIRLOh this was such a wonderfully fun game! The power of observation was key here, as in many escape rooms, the details were impeccable and the puzzles were intuitive. We had an absolute blast and were tickled pink by the ending. I would highly recommend this game to anyone, we played with 2 of us and though we don't remember the exact time we had left, we made it out with no hints that we recall.
Before MoonriseEscape New HavenEscape roomIRLThis room was absolutely spectacular. It's the first of this type of theme we've seen, so that was cool. The hint system was very unique and fun to use. (Only one other room has made me WANT a hint before this, so kudos there!) A lot of the puzzles were also things we haven't done before, so we were in general very blown away. With 2 of us we barely escaped, we received a couple small nudges along the way, but we felt like we were mostly moving / didn't really ever get super stuck. Highly recommend checking this room out.
Bigfoot’s RevengeWill To Escape - JupiterEscape roomIRLWell, this room - especially the ending - was a bit underwhelming. I knew this room had the most mixed reviews of the rooms available here, but it was our favorite theme so it is what we went with. The theme felt a little light here though. The puzzles were fun, one was comical, and the room was well decorated. I don’t think this is their strongest room, so I’d visit this location again to try their other rooms.
Captain Spoopy Bones and the Magnificent Quest For Some Other Pirate's Treasure!Doldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThe set here was immersive and the puzzles were a lot of fun. I always enjoy when we start in separate areas and have to communicate to be able to progress. This room was great!
Casino HeistNo EscapeEscape roomIRLWe did both rooms here back to back and started with this room. We enjoyed the puzzles, though they seemed a bit on the easier side for the two of us w/ approx. 85 games under our belt for experience. The puzzles flowed well and we weren't ever confused on what to do next for long. The decor could be more immersive, but the price was right for the experience and we had a lot of laughs - mostly at ourselves for missing things - so it was certainly worth the trip here. The owner / game master was friendly.
Cell Block 4Lara's Labyrinth - WethersfieldEscape roomIRLWe have loved every room we’ve done at Lara’s so far. The room was slightly modified to be able to be played by just 2 of us. The puzzles all flowed well and we never felt stuck. One particular puzzle threw us for a loop for a few minutes, we made some nonsense answers, but we worked it out on our own and needed no hints. The set design was great and I would definitely recommend giving this room a try.
Cosmic CrisisThe Escape Game - LynnfieldEscape roomIRLFirst and foremost, I'd like to say the customer service at every location has been top knotch for the escape game, but this place took the cake. We played two games here today and this was our favorite of the two. The puzzles flowed very nicely, and though at some points we thought we were stuck, it didn't take us too long to figure out what came next. Our team of two needed one small nudge along the way, but that's only because I didn't complete my part of the puzzle correctly to trigger the reaction on something, so we were nudged to circle back. By the time we got to one big puzzle element, it was closer to lunch time and we'd done back to back rooms so we were a bit hangry, but with a little bit of teamwork we made it through with a good amount of time to spare. Loved this room, along with every other room we've done at the escape game. (To note, we specifically seek out times where we can play alone, where no one has booked. Early on a Tuesday was great for this today! We've also had great luck at other locations super late at night.)
Crazy Train: The Ballad of Skeemin' PlotzDoldrick's Escape RoomEscape roomIRLThis room was more than worth the extra hour+ out of our way on our road trip from RI to Miami. It is hands down the best room we've done to date. There was always something else to notice each time we looked around. Gameplay was like we were dropped right into a video game. The employees were great and we immediately booked another room at Doldrick's once we got out of this one!
Crime SceneCloak and Dagger Escape Rooms - HamiltonEscape roomIRLThis room was pretty fun and I enjoyed the theming. We tried to overlook a lot of details and did need a nudge here and there, but thankfully made it out in time either way. There were a couple small jump scares, but no live actor.
